Match Thread Brentford v Everton. Sun 28th November. 2pm

[thebluebullet]

Such awful football. There’s only Newcastle and Norwich who are worse

Not sure they are worse mate and they play each other on Tuesday,meaning 1 will make ground on us.

You can't blame Benitez for the injuries but if he could not see that Iwobi and Rondon had stunk the place out he must have serious problems with his eyesight
If he had put Simms and Dobbin on we would have won that game as they were worse than us.

 

[Bob Latchford]

7 games without a win, which includes losses against Brentford, Wolves, Watford and West Ham. I’ve seen enough.

Last season with Carlo it was Fulham, West Ham, Sheff Utd and Burnley at home. The common denominator is that shower of a group of players.

What worries me more is the people who keep giving these players a pass. In many ways it’s easier to replace the manager, but replacing a whole team is on a totally different level.

the players take the blame as well mate but it should never be used as an excuse to give Benitez a free pass like some do on here. At the end of the day he's paid a massive wedge of cash to manage us.

 

[Dykovski200]

I don’t know but Dunc is part of the problem with this club. It has mediocrity running through it from top to bottom. He did ok as a player, but that’s it and I don’t see anything to suggest he has what it takes.

Tough times ahead

 

[MrGrumpy]

Can’t think of a serious chance we created

 

[arbok]

I'll be honest lads I struggle to maintain interest these days for multiple reasons, but one of them being that it's just all so tiresome. The same old [Poor language removed] no matter who is in the dugout.

Same wasn't going to watch, but its early one for us here so I may as well. What a waste of time again, its not just the scoreline, its the fact that its not even entertaining.

Normally if the season is dire, I just skip it, like Marco Silva's or Koeman's, but its just been about every season since Martinez...

 

[Tony1985]

I’ve not said sack him yet simply down to the fact I thought he was going to be here for the long run regardless of what we said or thought, Moshiri wouldn’t have appointed him otherwise.
This can’t go on, it’s time for him to go now before anymore damage is done. He wasn’t the right appointment in the first place and he will never be the right appointment, I genuinely believe Steve Bruce would get more out of these tits.

 

[R.Reddington]

We win that with Richarlison on the pitch.

Really?
Richarlison has been poor this season, I personally don’t think he would’ve affected it that much.

Wasn’t that Brands’ job when he joined what, 4 years ago now?

 

[Frenk]

To be honest , still can't blame the manager, team is full of extremely poor players, and that's not his fault. He didn't make a change, because he just can't, he knows these young players on bench, he watches them over in training, they might not be ready.

Why are they on the bench then?

 

[whiteshadow]

As much as I think this group of players are completely useless this is absolutely a sackable result for Benitez, he's on such a horrible run with no sign of improving, we know we have injuries but he should be motivating these players to at least put some effort in which they're clearly not doing. The January window might help a little but the club still can't just spend an absolute fortune to get him what he needs which is largely an entire new team.

They are putting in effort, it's lack of quality that's the issue.

We had twice as many shots as Brentford.

 

[Ring master]

Never mind how bad we are doing now, they really do need to go on a good run, if and when players are back as the last month or so of the season is not exactly easy

 

[sdk]

I can't stop crying. Someone please hold me.

There there...

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Perhaps we do but Richy’s I’ll discipline and general stupid attitude is to blame for that mate.

Even few the players we have with any quality have character flaws in them that makes it hard to seriously like them.

5 bookings in 8 appearances is unacceptable
